Maybe if enough people expressed their frustration with the 7d2d issue there would be more of a response. It just doesn't seem like there are enough people complaining and causing a firestorm.

That's what I get for not logging into Steam for a few days. Honestly surprised I even got a response. It does look fun, from what I've seen. That's definitely getting it added to my wishlist.

Sorry for Off-Topic comment..but this is big news. This is going to mean alot to people. Like Minecraft is already dropping support for it. I wonder how many games will be doing the same.

Considering they have built that game on their own engine it should take a while, but 7days to die is built using Unity. They just have to buy Unity pro licence if they don't have it (engine is free for indie developers but it doesn't have all the features like android and linux port). Unity builds game for every platform. I really can't see where is the problem. They even integrated ubuntu software center publishing. They just have to press button to build .deb packages and adittional click to publish their game on Ubuntu software center. Or maybe they've build it using older version of Unity which doesn't have linux support.... Either way it should already be ported.

Likewise, I for one am peeved about Divinity: Original Sin. The alpha does not work on Linux, and no peep from then when or how, only "later".

At this point, I'm not even sure anymore that the final game will have Linux support at launch.

Bah I just emailed Contagion before I saw your edit :P

Yep, I've pretty much condemned these devs for their treatment of the Linux port. It's basically a promise, broken. Or as I like to call it, a "lie".

You do run the same risk with Kickstarter though - the Fun Pimps have utterly failed to bring 7 Days to Die to Linux despite it being a clearly supported platform on the campaign. And let's not forget Contagion which is looking like another dubious promise. Despite promising Linux support on a stretch goal, no word. Due for release April 11th now and still no word.

[edit : Contagtion devs sticking to their original promise. Fingers crossed. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/monochromellc/contagion/posts/768189]

FWIW, several of the games I contributed to Kickstarter have already delivered Linux clients: Akaniero, War For The Overworld, Planetary Anihilation. Wasteland 2 sent me keys for the original Wasteland, and The Bard's Tale. Still waiting on the others (including Pillars of Eternity and Torment).

Nice indeed. And maybe we`ll see another f2p MMO from Gaijin Entertainment: War Thunder. There is OpenGL client for OSX, so... :). Some "trail" here:

Almost as bad as developers of 7days to die

As long as the game eventually comes, then I don't see a problem.

I played the game on Windows when i still had it installed. It's a good bit of fun, although the humour may not be for everyone. It's nothing offensive, just occasionally very lame, the kind you get from six year olds. Aside from a couple Smell my fart-jokes, the general atmosphere was enjoyable. The combat is quite exactly as it seems in the trailer, you have some room for tactics but it's basically hack'n'slash > retreat for a potion > repeat, with the better man eventually coming on top. Magic gave the game a real nice change regarding combat in particular. It's not easy.

I didn't finish the game, i got stuck on a boss somewhere around mid-game, but that was 10-15 hours in already so it's not too short either. As with any game, one could rush through faster. I explored everything.

I preordered this game on GOG back when I had a Windows install running. I never played more than a couple minutes because it ran like crap. I don't know if that was their first step into OpenGL or what but I don't think it was very optimized. I kind of wrote it off after that. The first one was fun.

What's even worse to me is that they paused Carribean! development to fix this game as well. But hey, they're a small team so I can give 'em some slack.

Quoting: philip550c

Quoting: OrkultusSoldier of Fortune, and Kingpin: Life of Crime.

How do I get those two?

Legally? With difficulty. Unfortunately.

I would definitely have had all of the native id Tech games on this list (at least the more recent ones) but it is nice to know that Linux gaming has broadened its horizons enough that one can make a list that does not include any of them.

Quoting: GuestErr… You list Portal 2 but it’s not available for Linux.

It's not officially out, but the beta version is available for Linux gamers. I've already finished it and I can say that it's completely playable.

Great list Liam, a few on there that I'd not heard of. Going to get a couple of these (especially No More Room in Hell) tonight now that I've finished Metro Last Light!

Has anyone tried this game? The fact that it's a mobile port makes me weary.
